Huge win for car owners! All TSBs to be made public.
The Center for Auto Safety just made the NHTSA (US Government) make public the full text of all TSBs from now on. They are the same organization that has petitioned the NHTSA & filed lawsuits to protect car owners over exploding gas tanks & other major safety issues.
Whenever you drive in your car, you are safer thanks in part to a lot of work over the years by this small but very effective consumer advocacy group.

The passenger side airbag will not show activated under a certain condition. The condition is - if the driver buckles in and starts the car and puts it in gear before a 115# passenger gets in and buckles in, the air bag on the passenger side will not activate. I have to stop the car and turn it off and restart to get the airbag to activate. Nissan in Tennessee(800-877-647-7261, case #22914533) says this is normal. I find this to be dangerous, please advise.. a simple solution is to write in to sense a seat belt connection and activate the airbag.

My vehicle was recalled for an airbag sensor problem. I brought it in for the repair and now the airbag 'off'' light for the passenger seat is on. I called my dealership and they said that now the airbag light will stay on until a passenger weighing 120 lbs or more sits in the seat. The airbags will not deploy if someone under 120 lbs sits in the seat.. they didn't mention this when I was in for the recall and it seems quite dangerous. The manual indicates there is a problem if the light is still on 10 seconds after starting the car. They told me to disregard that it will now be on until someone over 120 lbs. Sits in the seat. Can this be right? if so they need to tell people that there's no airbag for people under 120lbs. A lot of adults weigh less than 120lbs and I'm sure not many people are aware that they have no airbag protection. Thanks for your consideration.

When an adult passenger is seated in the passenger seat, and the vehicle is started, the airbag off indicator will remain illuminated on some occasions (without any discernible reason, such as seating position). Sometimes, when the airbag off light has incorrectly illuminated, the light will then shut off when the vehicle is in motion (with the passenger still seated in the same position) at no discernible interval of time, distance, or speed. This problem has occurred on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times daily. The dealership examined the vehicle on 1/8/2016 and states there is no problem that they can find and that they cannot replicate the complaint. However, airbag off problem is ongoing.
